Wine color can reveal your personality

The vast majority – 75% of respondents said they would follow the greater part’s preference, although they might want a different option…

Have you ever thought your wine preferences may serve a door to your personal traits – just like music tastes, favorite hues, or star signs?

Well, a recent study carried out in the USA featuring two thousands Americans older than 21, and their red and white wine experience, resulted in a few curious discoveries. Those who prefer red wine and those who prefer white turned out to have very different individual patterns.

Research findings

The respondents selected for the survey – who reached the age of legal alcohol consumption – all indicated having at least four glasses of wine every week. The vast majority – 75% of respondents – said they would follow the greater part’s preference, although they might want a different option; 72% liked it more to drink at home; only about a half of surveyed – 49% – would rather have some “wine out” during occasions and gatherings; more than a half – 62% – shared that they didn’t have wine after work/with dinner since they had no wish to uncork a new wine bottle.

Red wine drinkers’ common features

As for the wine color preferences, the received conclusions are rather inexplicit. For instance, those who choose to drink red wine would probably:

call themselves wine enthusiasts

wake up early in the morning

be more introvertive

love dogs

listen to jazz

describe themselves as more risky, humble and self-disciplined

spend more on wine

White wine drinkers’ common features

The respondents with white wine preference tend to:

more rarely call themselves wine enthusiasts

stay up until late at night

be more extraversive

love cats

listen to punk

describe themselves as more inquisitive, derisive and exacting

spend less on wine

Some thinking material

While many people think an average of more than $35 is a standard price for a bottle of wine, this is not necessarily true. More than that, alcohol marketing is often based on placebo effect that makes you sure the more costly a wine bottle is, the better its contents is.
